You’ll lead cross-functional delivery across software engineering, data engineering, and product teams — and you’ll also manage a small team of technical professionals.
This is a great fit for someone who thrives in complex environments, enjoys solving delivery challenges, and is comfortable translating between business needs and technical execution.

What You’ll Do

Work directly with business leaders to clarify scope, define requirements, and establish success metrics.

Run delivery across engineering teams — ensuring clear priorities, timelines, risk mitigation, and communication.

Drive sprint/iteration planning, dependency tracking, and cross-team coordination.

Build delivery discipline: consistent processes, documentation, governance, and post-launch reviews.

Anticipate risks and interdependencies across systems (origination, servicing, data, integrations, etc.).

Communicate program status, decisions, and blockers to IT and business leadership.

Coach and lead a team of engineers and product owners to ensure alignment, quality, and accountability.

Identify opportunities to improve how we estimate, plan, and deliver projects.

Maintain strong relationships with business partners, vendors, and technology stakeholders.
